Royal delight: Princess Diana to be celebrated with 'amazing' story in incredible tribute

PRINCESS DIANA will be celebrated with a new heartbreaking tribute to celebrate her life.

An “acclaimed” new musical about the life of Princess Diana is heading to Broadway next spring. Diana, an original musical, will move to New York City’s Longacre Theatre after a successful run last year at San Diego’s La Jolla Playhouse. Set in 1981, the musical follows the Princess of Wales as she prepares to marry into the Royal Family.

Ms de Waal told NBC: “It’s a privilege and an honour, obviously, to play a role that is so fleshed out and so well written and that has such a detailed journey throughout the play.”

In a video interview for the La Jolla Playhouse she said: “I feel very daunted by the prospect, but I hope people who didn’t know about her and weren’t aware of her journey leave the theatre with an idea of what she did for the world.

“She made everyone feel special, from the highest person to the lowest-ranking person, and I think we want to celebrate her.”
